Trusted by Baltimore Homeowners
In Baltimore, older row homes and drafty windows waste energy year-round. This page covers blower door tests, thermal imaging, and insulation assessments for homes losing heat. Most audits finish in 2-3 hours. Your report is ready the same week. We are insulation contractors who identify air leaks and insulation gaps you can fix now.
Blower Door Tests Show Exactly Where Baltimore Homes Leak Air
`Homeowners in Canton and Fells Point often see high heating bills or uneven room temps. A blower door test pinpoints hidden leaks you cannot see. We find gaps in baseboards, outlets, and attic hatches that waste heat.
Baltimore row homes share walls with neighbors. Air often leaks through your front and rear doors. Rooflines are another common problem spot. The blower door fan depressurizes your home. This pulls air through every crack and opening. We use smoke pencils and gauges to mark each leak location.
The test takes about 30 minutes. You get a number that shows how leaky your home is. Tighter homes keep heat inside during winter. They also stay cooler in summer without running your AC constantly.

Thermal Imaging Reveals Hidden Insulation Gaps in Walls and Attics
Families in Hampden and Mount Vernon notice cold bedrooms upstairs. Some have drafty living rooms that never feel warm. A thermal camera shows missing or compressed insulation behind your drywall. We do not tear walls open to find the problem.
Older Baltimore homes often have settling insulation. Many have uninsulated balloon-frame walls. The camera displays temperature differences in color. Blue and purple areas show where cold air gets through. Red and orange areas show where insulation is working.
We scan exterior walls, ceilings, and floors above unheated spaces. The images go in your report. You see exactly where insulation is thin or missing. This helps you plan upgrades room by room if needed.
What Happens During a Home Energy Audit in Baltimore?
A home energy audit in Baltimore identifies where your home loses heat and wastes energy. Auditors use blower door fans and thermal cameras to find air leaks
- Blower door test - measures how much air escapes through cracks and gaps

Energy Audits Measure How Much Heat Your Home Loses Each Season
Homeowners compare their utility bills to neighbors. Some are planning insulation upgrades. The audit report calculates air changes per hour. It also shows how much heat escapes from your home. You learn exactly how much energy you are losing.
Cold winters and humid summers in Baltimore make air sealing pay off faster. Insulation upgrades give better returns here than in milder climates. The report includes numbers you can use to estimate savings. Most families see lower bills within the first heating season after repairs.
We measure the baseline before any work starts. This gives you proof that upgrades are working. You can compare before and after readings.

Auditors Check Ductwork, Windows, and Crawl Spaces for Air Leaks
Residents in Towson and Roland Park have forced-air systems. Some have finished basements over crawl spaces. We inspect all common leak points during your audit. This includes duct connections, window frames, and rim joists.
Many Baltimore homes have uninsulated crawl spaces or basements. Ground moisture and cold air rise through the floor. We check for gaps around pipes and wires that penetrate your foundation. Duct joints in attics and basements often leak conditioned air before it reaches your rooms.
Window frames shrink and crack over time. We test each window for air movement. Crawl space vents can let in too much humid air in summer. We note every problem area in your report.

Homeowners Receive a Written Report Ranking Fixes by Impact
DIYers and homeowners budgeting repairs want to tackle the worst problems first. Your report lists each air leak and insulation gap. It includes estimated energy savings per fix. You decide which upgrades fit your budget now.
Baltimore contractors often recommend sealing attic bypasses first. Insulating rim joists is another top priority. These fixes block the biggest heat loss pathways. Your report shows you where to spend money for maximum return.
We explain each recommendation in plain language. The report includes photos from the thermal camera. You can share it with other contractors if you want multiple bids. The priorities are based on your home’s specific test results.
Sealing Air Leaks and Adding Insulation Cut Heating Bills Long-Term
Families in Federal Hill and Charles Village plan to stay in their homes for 5 years or more. Most insulation and air sealing upgrades pay for themselves in 3-7 years. You save money every month through lower utility bills.
Maryland offers rebates and tax credits for insulation work following an energy audit. These programs reduce your upfront costs. We help you understand which incentives apply to your home. Some rebates cover 50% or more of installation costs.
Air sealing stops drafts immediately. New insulation keeps your home comfortable year-round. You reduce wear on your heating and cooling systems. Many homeowners recover their investment faster than expected.
